FAT BOY
The exceedingly vulgar comedy by John Clancy
April 18 - May 17
"It might not cause a riot, but on the off-chance it does, you'll want to be at the 40th Street Stage to witness the uncompromising humor of John Clancy's Fat Boy.
A modern adaptation of Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi, the play graphically and grotesquely follows the story of Fat Boy , his sex-crazed wife Fudgie, and their ascension from the bowels of poor lower-class living to a dictatorship they definitely should not have.
Clancy describes his work as a "War Crimes Tribunal...run by the Marx Brothers. or Shakespearean tragedy, as done by South Park." When Ubu Roi was debuted in 1986, the performance was driven from the stage by a disgusted, angry mob: the audience. Clancy himself will be on hand for the premier performance, starring Brad McMurran of local Pushers Improv Comedy fame (infamy?), at 40th St. Maybe, as is intended, he'll see his play drive Norfolk audiences into hysteria as well."
